Support the Café Soleil Team and the Rebuild

Café Soleil family, it is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to reach out for help.

After Helene hit it was our hope to be there for those affected by the hurricane who lost so much. For the few days we were open in between the storms watching this community come together and pour out love for one another in tragedy was incredible.

Never did we imagine that Milton would be so destructive. The amount of rain and wind caused major flooding in the unit above us and destroyed our walls, furniture, ceilings, equipment and supplies.

All the love put into building the café earlier this year, unfortunately was destroyed. Knowing the blood, sweat and tears our team put into making this a beautiful gathering place for our community is heartbreaking. As a Business owner that has been the hardest part for me.

Many of you have followed our journey as we moved from espresso machines to power drills and back. We are confident we WILL rebuild.

We are now in a position of trying to figure out how we can survive like many small businesses in our area. Many of our team members have lost their homes, cars and now a place to work.

Can you help us?

The funds collected will be distributed to keep our team onboard and assist with the rebuild. This is a critical time for all small businesses.

Our commitment to you, our Café Soleil family, is to donate any overage we collect from this source to support other small businesses on St Pete Beach.

We survived Covid, we survived storms in the past, we survived red tide, we survived having to relocate and rebuild... we will survive this!

It is going to take us a minute, BUT we will be back and ready to greet you with a hug, coffee and a warm croissant.

Many thanks and gratitude for your help.
